David Meanix:
Photo Sculpture

David Meanix continues his extraordinary exploration into the genre of photosculpture, an invention of his which has been widely disseminated and imitated all over the world. Meanix has pioneered a technique whereby he shoots “one shot per every plane of the subject, inch by inch until I’ve covered all of the subject I want to sculpt. Next, I print each picture to ‘actual size.’ Then I match and cover the original subject with papier maché photocopies of those pictures.” He then uses the finished sculptures as a “mask prop,” which becomes a character in a photographic tableau. Unlike traditional characters, these are charged with additional contradictions of context and authenticity. Recast using various techniques of commercial photography such as portraiture, fashion, and advertising, the resulting tableaux convey a truly remarkable sensibility.
